The Rabbit Hotel & Retreat
Two dogs welcome, with the lobby, lower bar and gardens open to them
This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.
What we've verified
The hotel's own gardens are open to dogs for a first stretch. Antrim Castle Gardens and the Lough Neagh shore path at Antrim are roughly 10km west, and the Divis and Black Mountain ridge trail above Belfast is around 20km south.
Two room types only, and your dog must be in its own crate if you leave the room.
How the welcome translates in person, at dinner and around the hotel. That's what a Daisy stay will confirm.
GBP 15, Per dog, per night
What we've confirmed, at a glance.
Verified with the hotel, honestly marked.
Dogs on a lead are welcome in their own guestroom, the hotel lobby, the lower Hunter's Bar area and the gardens, and you can eat with your dog in Hunter's Bar. Dogs aren't in the spa. If you leave the room, your dog needs to be in its own secure crate, which you bring yourself.
Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
Everything, without the wall of text.
